Arizona Medical Malpractice Law: What Applies in Prescott

Medication Errors
Arizona requires a preliminary expert opinion affidavit under A.R.S. § 12-2603 before a medical malpractice claim can proceed, from a physician in the same specialty as the defendant, certifying a standard of care breach and causation. The statute of limitations is two years from the date of injury under A.R.S. § 12-542. Prescott is in Yavapai County, and claims are filed in Yavapai County Superior Court.

Types of Medical Malpractice Claims Handled in Prescott

Cardiac Care Errors

The James Family Heart Center at YRMC West handles complex cardiac procedures. Delayed diagnosis of a cardiac event or errors during treatment require a cardiology specialist’s expert review.

Surgical Errors

YRMC’s robotic assisted surgery program means some claims involve robotic surgical technique specifically, which may require an expert with experience in that method rather than traditional open surgery.

Care Coordination Errors Between Campuses

Because YRMC operates separate West and East campuses, a case involving a patient transferred or treated across both locations may require records and review from each campus separately.
